Introducing the "Bible Accessible" poster print from our Media Storehouse collection, brought to you by Mary Evans Picture Library via Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative image captures the historical significance of the moment when the Bible was made accessible to the common woman and man, thanks to the groundbreaking work of Miles Coverdale.

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historical moment when the Bible became accessible to the common man and woman for the first time in English. In the year 1535, Miles Coverdale, a prominent English scholar, completed his groundbreaking work of translating the Bible into the vernacular language. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated, as prior to this, the Bible was written primarily in Latin, a language that was inaccessible to the vast majority of the population. The woman and man depicted in this photograph, with their heads bowed and eyes fixed on the open Bible before them, symbolize the newfound accessibility and affordability of the sacred text. The Bible had long been a source of inspiration, guidance, and spiritual nourishment for the faithful, but its translation into English allowed it to reach a much wider audience. Coverdale's translation, which was based on earlier works by Tyndale and other scholars, was an important precursor to the King James Version of the Bible, which would be published over two decades later. The impact of Coverdale's work on the English language and the spread of literacy cannot be underestimated. It played a crucial role in standardizing the English language and cementing its status as a major European language. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of knowledge and the transformative effect it can have on individuals and societies. The Bible's translation into English marked a turning point in history, paving the way for greater access to information and education for the common man and woman. Miles Coverdale's legacy continues to inspire us today, as we strive to make knowledge accessible to all, regardless of social status or background.
